the biggest mistake brian could make for this film is giving wolverine a more important role then the others

i get the idea brian likes the wolverine character but at the same time you have a dozen other characters and he isn't doing any other characters or this franchise any favours by being 2nd place to wolverine

it sounds like in interviews he knows this when he said he feels there are other characters that could go as far as wolverine in the franchise, but we will have to see

If you go into X-Men: Days of Future Past thinking that a character like Blink is going to receive the same amount of development as Charles Xavier, of whom there are two, you deserve to be let down. You don't go into The Dark Knight thinking Gordon is going to receive equal treatment as Batman or The Avengers thinking Maria Hill or Pepper Potts are going to receive equal treatment as Tony Stark. Same applies here.

She does create portals. But hasn't travelled through time in the comics.

However, in the Exiles stories she did move between parallel worlds. She was given a device to enable her to teleport a team of mutants into other dimensions, where they were sent by a being called the Timebroker to correct things in alternate universes.

Her powers must be part of the plot in some way. They might even alter her powers so she can create portals through time. Who knows at this point.

On the other hand, Blink, Commissioner Gordon, Pepper Potts and Maria Hill are not major fan-favourite superheroes, so no one expects them to dominate. Gordon still managed a good slice of screentime though.

It's when big characters are given tiny roles that fans don't seem to like it.

Blink is not originally from the Age of Apocalypse. Just that version of her is the more popular one. She originally appeared with the group of kids that would go on to form Generation X in the main reality, but sacrificed herself to save them from the Phalanx. She did recently reappear and join the X-Men in the main reality too.

i thought it was all the same blink? basically Blink from AOA went on to join the Exiles (where alot of other AoA an many alt dimension characters have also been slapped together) then she sacrificed herself, and later returned during necrosha

No, not the same. The one that came back in Necrosha is the original 616 one from the pre Gen-X days. The one from Exiles is still out world hopping with other members of the Exiles, we just aren't seeing them anymore.

am I the only one who likes Iceman? I mean, sure I wish he had more development in X1/X2 but what can ya do?

Watching First Class atm. I love how balanced this film is. Obviously Xavier, Erik and Raven get the lions share of the X-Men scenes, but I like that every character is able to chime in when they're all talking and it feels natural. Unlike in say, x3 where every important thing is said only by Logan, or in the first two films where other characters just nod to whatever Xavier says.

Heck, I like all 3 characters. But then again I also had zero problems with Angel and Riptide or any of he other minor characters everyone hates.

me either.

They had cool powers and served their purpose. Some fans just seem to hate seeing less known mutants. I get the point, but... you know, enjoy the movie and characters for what they are and not for what YOU want.

We're gonna have many more x-men movies, so lets have patience and enjoy the journey

That's not necessarily true. For an original 5 X-man, Iceman is not very popular. I actually quite hate the character from the comics. And Pyro has fewer fans still. Definitely fewer than those of Havok and Banshee.

And yet the scenes those 2 shared with Rogue in X2 made a great film all the more rewatchable.

For me, if they just focused on Xavier and Magneto's relationship and falling out in FC and, since they couldn't get Cyclops, Storm and Jean in the film, just excluded a First Class of students altogether, it would've been a much better flick. Afterall, the reviews for that film have gushed over X and Mags, the chemistry of the two lead actors, and have suggested that the film reaches a lower quality when the rest of the team is shown.
